My personal opinion is that anything in the 250s is too heavy and affects his handspeed and general mobility, but like every other fighter I believe he should train for his style and let his weight settle where it may.
It doesn't matter. Fury will bash him up. Wilder will bash him up quicker. Joshua would win again. Parker would beat him in a rematch. Usyk would school him. Gassiev would KO him. Ruiz would outbox him. Pulev would outbox him. He's an overrated Sky pet who barely beat old Chisora. He might as well stay fat because he'll never beat the top three and many others will beat him too.
Whyte beats Uysk tomorrow Whyte beats Wilder next year Whyte sends Hunter to the hospital and into retirement Whyte beats Fury so hard he will need a tube to go to the toilet Whyte KOs Ruiz Whyte KOs AJ Whyte beats Gassiev any way he likes Whyte beats Pulev and becomes president of Bulgaria Already beat the best Parker ever Already beat the best Chisora ever... twice for fun Already beat Rivas a legit top ten contender who shits on Schwarz Whyte is the most understimated fighter in the world. You will address him as the WBC Interim Champion of the world, because he earned that title by fighting credible opponents not pussies like Schwarz
Whyte can beat any style, at any weight, however tall they are. He has a diverse Resume, and always adapts. He is the best form of his life with the best team around him. They've had a string of successes, why fix what ain't broken? Haters gonna hate... WBC CHAMP BABY!
A 259 Whyte with flesh is far better than a 259 Whyte with pure muscle. He would gas far more with the muscle. At HW there is nothing wrong with carrying a little timber rather than muscle. More weight behind the punches without having to worry about gassing as much
As opposed to the lineal belt? Fury’s lineal belt yeah? Is that another reason Fury is the best? Surrounded by zombies
Whyte would be better getting down to 210lbs like Deontay. But nobody's got a more leaner physique than the devastating bronze bomber!
Fury has held multiple world titles - real ones. I didn't mention lineal, you did. Couldn't give a toss about lineal. It means nothing to me. Repeat: Whyte holds no meaningful world title. This is undisputed. The fact, not the belt...
Always made me laugh when I was at my boxing club and the fat guys would be so much fitter than the muscle bound guys
Yeah but why going to bring up something that happend a long time ago in a galaxy far away? So much has happened since then? Fury had a baby, lost the baby fat, nearly committed suicide, belts got exchanged more times than a drunk teenage girl in soho on a friday. It's irrelevant. More so because that Punk Fury WALKED AWAY from the sport, mentally gave up and retired. Didn't defend jack ****. AJ most recently lost the belts, and did more work to get it. Now Dillian is the INTERIM WBC Champion which is way more than what Fury currently has, which is nothing. And Whyte did a HELL OF A LOT MORE, let me repeat, HELL OF A LOT MORE, than any current champion has to get a belt, let alone fury. **** history, right now Fury has nothing, Wilder/Whyte and Ruiz Jr are in the mix.
Why? Because Fury has achieved something Whyte has yet to do, and something he aspires to. Fury has been world champion. Whyte is a contender, among many, and as yet he's not a world champion, and has yet to fight for a world title. Fury fought for one two fights ago. Interim World Champion Belt is meaningless. It's funny Whyte and Hearn talk more about being mandatory for a real title than that worthless trinket. Wonder why? If/when he realises his goal and becomes a holder of a real world title belt - something I wouldn't mind seeing despite what you may think - he sits firmly in the contender bracket. And if for some reason he retired tomorrow, he would do so having failed to ever become a world champion. Fury doesn't have that issue. Now seriously, walk out of the shrine room, lock the door and don't go back in for a week....
I ain't leaving the room until Dillian whyte has retired or walked away from the sport, seeing as Fury has a track record of walking away from things, like fights and ordered eliminators, I think we can stfu up until Whyte has finished his career. He is the INTERIM WBC champion and the mandatory status holder, meaning he needs to UNIFY with Wilder to become undisputed, it's an ACTUAL belt, interim champion, it is real, more real than lineal. In fact we can both go and touch the belt, just hit up Dillians number, he will oblige. Fury's last fight was Shwarz, Whyte's was Rivas, speaks volumes to me. Keep worshiping that hollow, fake dosser... he has no credibility in these forums anymore. Whyte? He get's more popular by the day, I guarantee you... evidence is all over social media.
Okay then, he's the interim (NO NEED FOR CAPITALS) WBC *champion*..... let's hope the limits of his ambitions exceed yours.....
Well when he gets denied the chance to achieve his ambition, repeatedly, you have to as a rational human being question why is this man feared? Why is the man at the top not sharing your confidence? Why when the oppurtunity to beat up a peasant and hurt him legally would earn you 12 million dollars? Must you make him jump through every hoop in every corner of the globe... but yet you offer Fury a free ticket, Kownacki a free ticket, Ortiz two free tickets... Why does your brain not ask these questions? I am stumped... how you don't see this historic behavior as highly alarming... you would fail a police detective test.
